Now I'm not attempting to be a conspiracy theorist here but the attack on both leaders is quite uncanny, looking at the close similarity of their initials: TD J and TB J.

Read how FBI entraped hapless fellows into a crime FBI concieved, aided, funded and had poor fellows jailed on the plot to kidnap Michigan Governor.

Morrison told Wilson he was renouncing and disavowing everything to do with the Boogaloo movement and Wolverine Watchmen.

"I sincerely regret ever allowing myself to have any affiliation with people who had those kinds of ideas, especially Mr. Fox, who I believe is a danger to society," Morrison said. "I regret I ever let hate, fear and anger into my heart the way I did. … If I could, your honor, I'd take it all back."

Absolutely not,I'm afraid. As I'm frequently told, you need to have the holy spirit to understand the ways of the holy spirit. So says someone who hasn't read a single chapter of the Bible from start to finish. 😂😂

This is what happens when government controls prices and pays and subsidy. Debt results

Says so in the article. Sub economic tarrifs. That means that government forces the discos to charge prices below the production cost, which in turn forces them to operate at a loss.

And then they find it difficult to pay loans , hence the lender taking over.

But because of sub economic tarrifs, the companies cannot make a profit. So despite the new management, the companies lose money


Moral of the story is electricity is not cheap. It has to be priced appropriately to make a profit.

Electrical Tomatoes

"Price controls"! It means a product is kept at a price set by government, and in Nigeria, we know it's kept low and very likely beneath the cost at which it can be sold at a profit. Like petrol really. But we can at least claim a reason for petrol with our crude oil and our ineptitude at running refineries. Electric though!?

Imagine it were tomatoes. You invest in land and fertiliser and labour and grow them, and when you get them to the market, government sets the price. I'm absolutely certain if that price is higher than the cost at which you grow your tomatoes, you wouldn't mind much. You'd likely be delighted if it's high enough for you to make a tidy profit. And if you're fortunate and the price set is so high, you'd likely invest in more land and more fertilizer and more labour and grow even more tomatoes. But this is Naija, where the price set by government is more likely to be way below your costs so that after you sell your tomatoes, you would have lost money.

Now think, you lost money on your tomatoes. Are you going to plant tomatoes next season? If you're into the charity business or you're stupid, you just might. But if you're not and have rent and school fees for your kids to pay and you want to eat and pay the interest on a loan I very much doubt you'd be stupid enough to throw your money away growing unprofitable tomatoes!

Well, that's the case with electricity in Nigeria I'm afraid. You generate it, transport it along unreliable transmission wires, lose a large chunk of it to illegal use and theft and what you do get paid for does not cover the cost of producing it. Now tell, would you plant electricity next season? I very much doubt it unless you're into the charity business or you're stupid, of course, but somehow, I just can't imagine you'd be either.

So, what's the solution you might wonder. Increase the price of electricity of course. But come on people, increase the price of electricity so electricity planters can earn more money and plant more and sell more? Surely you must be cursing me by now, or haven't you noticed you'd have to pay more for my electric if you want it?

Ok, perhaps you're all nice civilised folks and don't want to curse me so let's try a different way of looking at this. Imagine Buhari removes the price control so I can sell my electricity at a market determined price like I currently sell my tomatoes no doubt at a profit high enough for me to want to plant more next year. Are you cursing me yet? I'm sure you would be if it was the subsidy on petrol I were talking about removing. Hell no! You'd likely stone me if you could get your hands on me!

Well, that's what this piece is saying where it says "The private sector is given little incentive to invest.” After all, I'm in the electric planting business for the money and the profit and not because I love you all as Adam Smith would say, so why give you light if you aren't paying me for the priviledge! And you wanna complain you're in darkness?!

When you pay me enough to cover my planting of tomatoes after paying for the land and the fertilizer and the labour and the interest on a loan and cover what I lose to theft and illegal harvesting, and still make a tidy profit to reinvest, I will plant 12000megawatts of tomatoes and I will sell 12000megawatts of tomatoes and even more megawatts of tomatoes than you can eat even because you would be incentivizing me to invest what you pay me in more land and more fertiliser and more labour to plant more tomatoes so I will have more tomatoes to sell you and make more money. But if you want cheap electric, keep your price controls and don't incentivize me but don't expect me to waste my time labouring in the sun just so you can have light because, like you, I ain't that stupid nor into the charity business!

Anyone cursing me yet, because I am telling you, we are too cheap!

You see these maga cultists we have here, they know they are being lied to, but years of dissociative programming runs deep. It took me a great strength to pull out of this deeply connected conspiracy. I had already believed George Bush was the Antichrist even before we started thinking Obama was a lizard overlord.

I feel criminal trump is using a form of withcraft on these people.

Kobojunkie:
2. So basically, the God of Israel — Abraham, Isaac, AND Jacob— is a liar. And So also is Jesus Christ who even made clear that He was sent by His Father sent Him ONLY to the Lost sheep of Israel. They are liars to you?

Kobojunkie:
The same passage you lifted that verse from, only when considered in context, you see that Jesus Christ spoke in fact of the same world that Moses lifted the snake in the desert to.
Moses lifted the snake in the desert, not for the whole world. Not for the foreigners who were among the people of israel but for those in Israel who were condemned by God to die. The bronze snake gave the people condemned of israel back their lives but He, Jesus Christ, would give them Eternal Life in place of their former life which God condemned.

School is a good idea since you never learned the primary language rule which is to also consider and respect the context of every statement you hear or read.

There are serious evidence showing that this was a false flag operations by the Feds. You know, like Ray Epps. Everyone now knows “whatsup”! Nice try. LOL!

One question.

Why on God’s green earth did the man put on a Trump cap? Is he a Trump fan? If yes, how is it possible that he got death threats ? Isn’t it unusual that someone who’s a supposedly Trump fan is suddenly a “target of right wing conspiracy theorists” - according to Yahoo News ? Everyone knows, including useless Obrigidiot, that Trump fans are generally conspiracy theorists. So how is this guy a target of conspiracy theorists? Na wa o !

You asked a question, I answered you, you disregarded it and went ahead to preach your already prepared sermon even though I saw through it and stopped you in your tracks. My brother you are wrong. Seeing is not evidence, what you see must be evidenced and that goes for other things you cannot see. What about feel? What of smell what of taste? All these must still be subjected to scrutiny and evidenced otherwise why not believe in unicorns and dragons too.

Someone pointed up there that you died o. But you're not concerned with that one.

Instead of dispute what the person has presented, you are tackling the person without evidence. Yet you call me ignorant
